To bad Galileo didn’t live long enough to see the Church and Christianity ridiculed for issuing such a foolish judgment.

He should converted to Islam, and immigrated to a Muslim country where he would have been appreciated and encouraged to continue and further his important work and studies. Think of what further heights he could have achieved through the Islamic scientific initiative of the age, without the limitations placed on him by a backwards medieval Christianity.

Many Muslims have moved to the west……after watching their countries be destroyed while fundamentalist Christians cheered and enjoyed the carnage.

The west is only more advanced today because they unscrupulously profited from Christian based, colonialist Imperialism that unfairly allowed their countries to advance while at the same time disrupting or halting the natural developmental progression of the victim nations. This remains a root cause of many of the problems and miseries in the world today.

Galileo was lucky all he had to contend with was the backward rulings of the Christian Church, and not the full onslaught of crimes unleashed against the Muslim world today.
